Yuan Li's sheer bravado comes undone on red carpet

You should never underestimate power dressing, especially when it's a power dress like Yuan Li's black lace affair that she wore to the 14th Huabiao Film Awards in Beijing on Sunday.

The actress claimed she was caught out by the strong natural sunlight that caused the dress to appear so transparent she may as well have not worn it. The only other garment of any substance to cover her modesty was a thong.

Naturally the dress divided opinion, with men, mainly, saying that it wasn't a bad idea to just wear lingerie while appearing at a red carpet event, and the women saying she didn't have much of a figure to show off in the first place. Ouch!
